Book: Not a Word About Love by Hana Goldberg

Hana Goldberg

about this book: Everywhere I go, I see lifeless people. Listless men fill their gas tanks. Worn-out women drive their children to school. Couples sit facing each other in restaurants, as silent as codfish. I feel like yelling at them, "Wake up, dammit!"

Marriage is wonderful, if you're ready to forego a wild sex life. It doesn't matter how good your love life is. It doesn't matter that you can't keep your hands off each other, your bodies humming in pleasure. It lasts exactly - exactly - four years.

At first, you think it might be some kind of hormone imbalance. Why don't you want it anymore? Maybe it's the pregnancies? Maybe you're just not into sex as much as you used to be? Then you start to blame your partner. Why can't he lose some weight? Why doesn't he want to experiment in bed?

Four women were the inspiration behind Not a Word about Love – four of my closest friends.

I hope you enjoy reading this book, at least as much as I enjoyed writing it.
